Spider Lamp 241

spider lamp 241

taking inspiration from spiders, Spider stands out from the crowd with its sculptural form of convex rods circling a colored bulb. When switched on, the colored bulb emits the light backwards and the lamp casts giant shadows on the surface. A surprising effect that comes as a bonus.

Autoban has teamed up with De La Espada to create a new furniture line, Autoban Built by De La Espada. Select designs from Autoban's ever-growing product portfolio are built in De La Espada factories in Spain and Portugal, and are available in De La Espada's signature material range including solid American Black Walnut or American White Oak.

Autoban Built by De La Espada combines the best qualities of the two collaborating design firms for a range of furniture that is clever, fresh and exciting while strongly rooted in traditional craft and the integrity of a lifetime of experience.

In 2003, Seyhan and Sefer founded Autoban, an interior design and product studio that has been gaining widespread recognition and receiving design awards around the world. Hailing from Istanbul, Autoban has a wealth of culture from which to draw a unique aesthetic language. They use raw materials to create sleek, modern designs with varied cultural and historic elements with a splash of whimsy. Founders Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Çaglar find their core inspiration in nature, daily rituals, childhood memories and the city in which they live.

Available in stainless steel or gold-plated steel. Gold plating is 24 karat. Recommended bulb is crown mirrored bulb E27, maximum 60W. A classic E27 halogen bulb may be used if you are unable to obtain a crown-mirrored bulb, making the shadow effect less pronounced. Bulb not included. Spider can be used on the wall or ceiling. The lamp has a power cable 3 metres (9'9") in length with a dimmer switch. If preferred, an electrician could alternatively hardwire the lamp to a junction box.

Seyhan Özdemir (b. 1975) and Sefer Cağlar (b. 1973) met at the Fine Arts Faculty of Mimar Sinan University, where Seyhan was studying Architecture and Sefer, Interior Design. They both graduated in 1998 and founded Autoban in 2003 after gaining experience in the field to combine their fields of architecture, interior design, and product development under one name. The duo began developing product designs and launched their first collection in Paris in 2004. Two years later they opened the Autoban Gallery to showcase the best of these designs. The next year, they began their collaboration with De La Espada to produce their products, while maintaining creative control.

De La Espada is a groundbreaking design management firm and leading modern woodworker with a dedicated factory in Portugal. Highly skilled craftspeople combine noble materials, traditional joinery, handcraft and advanced technology to realize each design to the highest standard. De La Espada puts the author at the forefront and values the modern artisan. They partner with designers who art direct, curate and design their own product lines, and support them through manufacture and distribution.
